Hey guys! I need Zaino help! I Z6ed my car last night, and when I went out today to check on my car, I noticed these streaks. So I took some more Z6 and sprayed and wiped to remove them, but I think it's the Z6 that leaves these streaks!

I know Z6 is concentrated, so I spray and wipe immediately, but it leaves these streaks! What's wrong? Help!

(Image has been edited for clarity of streaks). Also, my digicam seems to take in more light than wanted, so it concentrates on the reflection of the clouds, rather than on the streaks, so I apologize for the not so good picture.

 

I don't see anything but a RED X, but......

What did you use BEFORE the Z-6 spray?
I’m guessing there’s some Z-2 or Z-5 residue on there that never dried.

Or maybe the towel you’re using isn’t really clean and it’s smearing what’s already been wiped off.
I use about THREE full size bath towels to Z-6 the car.
You can’t use the same towel that has already been used or it will deposit product back onto the car.

Sorry for the Red X's. I always have trouble linking pictures using my RR server.

My process goes like:
1. Apply Z2/Z5
2. After enough time, wipe off Z2/Z5.
3. Apply Z6, using different small towel, continuously folding.

I assume you're right about the residue being left over. That may be the issue. I wiped it off at night in my garage, where I can't see all the streaks. It could be that! I'll check into it next time! Thanks!

I only Z6 with a small towel like 2 ft x 2ft. That's probably not enough, I assume?

Thanks Shawn!

 

Here is a link to the picture, since I can't seem to link the image to show.

Shawn, that's a lot of towel for a Quick Detail.

 

i only use a r-velvet hand towel
its about 1.5x2

i find that half way through - im spraying on lots less, cause the towel is wet

 

Same here. I use one towel for the whole car. One side to wipe on and the other to wipe off. I end up using less spray to wipe on since the towel gets more and more saturated.
